Okay, this schedule confuses me greatly.
Even though night gets the shaft on Monday, they could have given them Isner. Instead, Isner plays on Armstrong, and they put K-Bond/Dulko on Ashe? I know no one is in Ashe at 11, but that would have been the perfect time for Djokovic/Sexxx, especially since that's a best-of-5 and will therefore go longer.

I thought Verdasco/Isner would have been the night match, but this makes sense.
They're probably avoiding 2 men's matches during the day, so we don't have a repeat of Saturday. After all, the only match CBS really gives a hoot about is Federer.
And, at 11, CBS will show Dork/Nameless Scrub.

Sweta vs WozDen is a huge, huge match. It will lead to either the emergence of WozDen as a Slam finalist, or...Sweta's FIFTH Slam final

Oh man. If Sweta somehow titles here, we'll have two players with two Slams each, and neither near No 1.

lol @ Petrova's picture CBS is using. It probably took longer to Photoshop it than K Bond to win her match today.

I don't understand how one can be double bagelled by Kateryna Bondarenko in R4 of a Slam.

Six bagel sets across the five women's R16 matches played so far

I felt for Gisela getting beaten love and love like that by Kateryna Bondarenko. Who is the better player between Kateryna and Alona Bonderenko? I suppose it's Alona by a slight margin.

Post by DBBN on Sept 7, 2009 11:54:02 GMT -5
Alona has been more effective, and she's a harder hitter, but she has nothing special. She's like everyone else.
Kateryna has more variety and great court sense, but less power, and is more mentally fragile.
I'd say right now they're roughly equal, but Kateryna has a greater chance to improve, because what she needs to do better is easier to learn than what Alona needs to do better.

Same hole LOL. Still meh. And my point was that Alona never got the same sort of draw when she was making it to the 3rd round of slams.

She could have made the third round this time, but instead she got beaten by the player who was just walloped by her sister.
This is an unwinnable argument.

There are major problems for Oudin against Petrova today because Nadia is about to seize control of the first set. Nadia is serving at a much higher level than Dementeiva or Sharapova did and it looks like Melanie will have problems holding serve against Nadia. It nappears that Oudin's only hope is for her to some how make a match of it and hope Petrova gets rattled.

I thought I was rooting for Oudin, but...it appears I am not. I seem to be affected by the whole "MELANIE TO WIN!!!1" situation, which is never going to happen.

I was amazed to see that Oudin was being rated as the favourite so I placed a few bob on Petrova.

60 60 lolwut K-Bond!!! And, yes, she's better than Alona. And I'm biased because she's a rare net rusher and she's prettier.
